It's certainly possible for certain people to... get back to threads more frequently than they should. Like anything in life, too much of a good thing can be dangerous! Yes, even free compliments.

Free compliments doesnt require lube like too much threads. The hands can get sore.

Jokes aside, there was a time when I put so much effort into helping people that it came at a personal cost, and I had to pause for quite a while. This type of commitment is beyond the means of one person. Altruism isn't free by any means!

Nope it isnt. Especially since there are so many who are looking for a hand out and not a hand up.

It is easy to get taken and keep giving while others are sponging.

Indeed. The experience has given me the wisdom to understand when to pause. As the old saying goes, "Physician, heal thyself!"

There is a reason why they say to put your mask on first in a plane if there is a drop in pressure then put it on another.
